Shelby Police are asking for help locating a woman last seen five days ago.

Sgt. Michael Myers said Melissa HamrickBumgarner, 42, left on foot last Tuesday and her family filed a missing person report Saturday.

Myers said Bumgarner was last seen at her mother's home on the 200 block of Thrift Road and she left the house on foot.

He said he doesn't know where she was going when she left.

Her mother was the last person to report seeing her shortly before 10:30 that morning.

"(Her mother) stated she has tried to call Melissa several times but it goes straight to voice mail," the report states. "I spoke with the boyfriend who stated he has not seen Melissa since Monday, but the last he heard she was staying at the (women's) shelter."

"Family hasn't had any contact with her at all, which is unusual," Myers said. "Nobody's seen or spoken to her since Tuesday."

Myers said police blanketed the area she was last seen with fliers containing Bumgarner's physical description and photo.

"We've checked all known locations that we possibly know as associated with her but haven't been able to locate her," he said.

He encouraged anyone who has seen her or had contact with her to call Shelby Police Department at 704-484-6845 or Crime Stoppers at 704-481-TIPS (8477).
